I love my hearing protection headset. It warns you when there's about 1h of battery left, then at 30m, then 10m.

That's it.

It's more like 'BETWEEN 6 AND 12 HOURS PLAYTIME REMAINING.'

I don't know why companies that should know better don't just stick with simple beeps. Sennheiser, you fucking idiots.

I have a nice shower speaker that, when low on power, begins beeping every 5 seconds, with at least three times the volume of the music

I get it, just give me 2 goddamn minutes to finish showering and then I'll charge you!

Mine's a British woman. And the volume of that voice always seems to be much louder than whatever I was listening to, so it gives me a slight fright every time.

the tts in my car's bluetooth puck consistently mispronounces "bluetooth" as "blew-a-tooth". truly a mark of high quality.

I do not understand why we are not allowed to just disable this feature.

You can! Just go to the "place you buy earbuds" settings page and select "wired earbuds". After I did that, the annoying warnings went away, and my earbuds gained infinite battery life!

Do you want to constantly check your settings page for the battery percentage?

I want them to just turn off when the battery is gone.

If they want to make a single low volume alert at some low level telling me how much battery remains, that's an extra. Anything else is hostile bullshit.

I paid for the whole battery let me use the whole battery, I don't need it to tell me battery low every 2 minutes for half an hour.

If you don't need to filter out lots of noise, you can alternate to use one buds at the time for long study/work session. So the other one can keep charging in the case. Otherwise, a female audio jack/usbc adapter with some good old cable headphones.
